Fuzz Face build trouble shoot

Post by squarewave »

Hi mates

Hope I can get some advice to help me trouble shoot a FF build, I'm kind of painting by numbers here copying the layout of an ivor by Dustin Francis as my guide.

Its a freaken mess at the moment so Im too embarrassed to show it to you just yet and I've very rudimentary understanding of electronics so sorry in advance for stupid questions.

So, after carefully going over the wiring I'm almost 100 percent that it’s wired up right, when I plug in i get signal into my amp but seeming nothing when I click it on. If i turn my amp up loud there is a bit of crunchy signal coming through (not good crunch). Could it be the pots are wired up around the wrong way thus not enough juice getting through? at the moment I have 500k for the vol 1k for fuzz. Is that right? Im open to other suggestions

Edit - 1k for vol and 500k fuzz is correct I’m pretty sure

Thanks guys and gulls
